“The sight of a woman being tattooed live on a church altar accompanied by the sound of a buzzing ink gun provided a startling backdrop to Sunday's evangelical sermon,” reports Nick Perry of the Seattle Times.

“Your parents' church service this was not. In the drive to stay relevant, the Gold Creek Community Church has been hosting a series called 'Permanent Ink' that featured Sunday's live-tattoo finale.”

When a church features tattooing in a Sunday service you know Christianity is accepting the practice.
